A Sinner, Justified: Two Men, One Conflict

By Mikal Smith

There is a conflict within every child of God.

A continual warfare between the flesh and the spirit. Between what is born of man and what is born of God. The believer delights in the law of God after the inward man, and yet still feels the presence of a flesh in which "dwelleth no good thing."

This conflict has troubled and confused many. Some attempt to overcome it through self-effort. Others seek peace through personal progress, religious performance, or the gradual improvement of the flesh. But Romans chapters 7 and 8 direct the believer somewhere else entirely.

In A Sinner, Justified: Two Men, One Conflict, Mikal Smith walks through the believer's inward struggle and sets forth the unchanging truth that peace with God is not found in what we are, but in what Christ has done. Drawing from a seven-week sermon series preached at Sovereign Grace Baptist Church in Joplin, Missouri, this book presents Christ as the sole ground of acceptance, righteousness, sanctification, and rest before God.

With pastoral clarity and doctrinal depth rooted in the Scriptures, this work explores:

the ongoing conflict between flesh and spirit, the inability of the flesh to please God, the error of confidence in self, the believer's assurance in Christ, and the certainty of God's purpose from beginning to end.

This is not a book about perfecting the flesh.

It is a book about being brought to the end of self-

And finding everything in Christ.
